On March 18, 1940, Josephine McLeod of the Virginia State Board of Nurse Examiners wrote to Clare Wangen, Superintendent of Nurses, reporting on her recent visit to the School. In addition to noting several improvements, McLeod expressed concern that no provision had been made to improve the conditions of the hospital's Ward Q, the segregated ward for obstetric, pediatric, and newborn patients. She recommended that such provisions be made, noting that "All those of us who have been in the University of Virginia Hospital for the past fifteen years have looked upon this particular division with no eye of approval, and we know that it is bad for the patient... and our students."
